“文化转向”视角下移民地理学研究进展与趋势

论文梳理了地理学视角下的移民研究以及在全球化和新型城镇化背景下中国流动人口的研究,探讨在“文化转向”范式下移民地理学的研究进展和趋势。指出：① 地理学对移民的研究包括宏观上的迁移模式和动力机制的研究,中观尺度上移民的社会文化互动与地方协商问题,以及微观尺度上移民的日常生活、认同与情感;其中,“移民—地方”的核心人地关系,特别是移民的空间实践与地方协商成为了移民地理学关注的重点。② 受“文化转向”的影响,移民地理学研究正从宏观尺度的规律总结和普适性理论转移到研究移民日常生活、情感和认同背后的权力和社会关系,以揭示移民多样化的诉求。③ 移民地理学对中国移民的研究主要集中于城乡二元制度框架下对乡—城流动人口的关注,需要拓展全球化背景下多样化的移民群体的考察。研究试图拓展中国移民地理学的研究议题,思考基于发展中国家话语下的移民研究新知。

Research progress and trends of geographies of migration from the perspective of “cultural turn”

This article summarizes the geographical research on immigration and in particular the research on the floating population of China in the context of globalization and new-type urbanization, and discusses the research progress and trends of immigration geography from the perspective of "cultural turn". The findings include: 1) The geographic studies of migration mainly focuses on the mode of immigration and research of motivation, the local negotiation research of immigrants, the cultural interaction of immigrants and the daily life, and identity and emotion of immigrants; and the geographies of migration focus on the human-land relationships of "immigrant-place", especially the practice and negotiation of place. 2) Under the influence of "cultural turn", the geographic research of migration has gradually switched the focus from the macro structures of migration to the micro contexts of everyday life, emotion, power, and social relations, which increasingly engages in the diversity and complexity of migration. 3) The research on Chinese migration mainly focuses on the floating population in the context of "urban-rural" dualism, which needs to be extended to research on the diverse immigrants in the context of globalization. This article attempts to expand the research agenda about the geographies of migration in China and produce the new knowledge of immigration based on the discourse of developing countries.
